Don't know about you, but I can finally sleep easy knowing that Moth by Chairlift has been bumped from 7.6 to 8.5.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yeah, those ones stuck out as being genuinely deserving o mea culpas. Most of the others are navel gazeling nonsense.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Man, that was 12 years ago and that band broke up 6 years ago (pretty good run). I think we played Hives more often but no one except me liked playing that one. The songs that always got the biggest reactions were "Crazy Train" and "Summer of 69."gkbill wrote: ↑06 Oct 2021, 4:17pmHello,Wolter wrote: ↑10 Dec 2009, 1:51pmSong #2.

For some reason, I always mix up the choruses in Summer of '69 and Livin' on a Prayer — they sort of fit each other seamlessly (both ways).matedog wrote: ↑06 Oct 2021, 4:49pmMan, that was 12 years ago and that band broke up 6 years ago (pretty good run).
